BSNL Indian Broadband Service Provider Offers 24Mbps Speed, Fastest In India

To find good internet speed in India is a matter of concern. But BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) has become the fastest Internet speed provider in India today by offering new plan that will touch speed up to 24Mbps.

The 24Mbps speed provided by BSNL is the fastest compared to Bharti Airtel which provides only 16Mbps, that is 8Mbps more than Bharti Airtel.

BSNL will offer high speed broadband service through the high speed digital subscriber loop (VDSL) technology.

But the internet speed is nothing compared to speed offered developed countries like Japan and Korea offering 45Mbps and 60Mbps respectively.

Prior to this speed launch by BSNL, they used to offer maximum speed up to 8 Mbps only, that is a large shift. Infact VDSL will help speeds to go up to 52Mbps.

This news may sound good to those subscribers who are stationed 500 meter from BSNL’s broadband exchange nodes. Only those who come close to 500 meters can avail this offer, but those further away cannot. But in future, the offer will be expanded.BSNL connection of 24 Mbps and 16 Mbps connections comes with an exorbitantly high price tag of Rs. 9,999 and Rs. 4,999 respectively.

Although BSNL had previously stated of offering 500 Mbps speeds, nothing much has been done about it. But this boast of 24Mbps may be the stepping stone for huge success in India. Infact India is pegged to hit a meagre number of 20 million broadband connection in the next 5 years which means that such high speeds with such expensive tags rarely have a ready market out there just yet.In order to know more please dial 1504 or 1800-464-1600 or visit www.bsnl.co.in

And also BSNL in 2009 had stated that it would invest around Rs 1,600 crore in infrastructure facilities to support eight million broadband connections.

Facts about Indian Internet

Facts about Indian Internet – Beginning of Revolution ?

Not many of us agree that India ranks in the Top 10 across the World when it comes to Internet user base, but has only four Internet firms listed on Stock Exchanges. India has amongst the best demographics for the Internet, with 50% of the population being younger than 25 years, but only 3% of ad-spends online.

Indian universities had Internet access in 1988—a full six years before Chinese universities did. United Nations has proposed that Internet access be recognised as a fundamental human right and still India counts 256 Kbps as broadband and serves 35% of its customers.

However, on the positive side, Internet penetration in India has been increasing rapidly, as cost of access is falling dramatically, 

3G Data Vs EVDO Based Services [Photon, Reliance NetConnect, etc]

We conducted a field survey in Bangalore City to ascertain consumer and channel partner behavior post 3G launch. The main aim of this study was to find if there is any shift from CDMA 1x data to 3G ?

CDMA operators’ EVDO offerings – Tata Photon+, Reliance NetConnect Broadband+, BSNL EVDO, MTS MBlaze gave the power of super fast internet for executives and people on the move.

Airtel ready to takeover Qualcomm’s BWA / LTE Spectrum

Bharti Airtel is all set to buy Qualcomm’s India broadband wireless licenses for US$ 1.2 bn. Qualcomm has licenses in Delhi, Mumbai, Kerala and Haryana and paid US$ 1.1 bn in Jun 2010 during BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) spectrum auctions.

Bharti would gain access to the lucrative high ARPU Mumbai and Delhi circles complementing its existing licenses in Maharashtra and Karnataka (RIL owned Infotel is the only LTE (Long Term Evolution) competitor in these circles). Bharti Airtel will have acquired the license almost at the same cost as Qualcomm acquired it for in Jun 10 but at a lower risk as now Read the rest of this entry »

Reliance WiMax – LTE Dilemma Advantage for 3G Operators

Reliance Industries Ltd [RIL] inherited by Mukesh Ambani is in a dilemma to choose WiMax or LTE for providing wireless broadband services. RIL invested close to USD 1 Bn for PAN India BWA license and since then is quiet on its plans. BWA licences are technology-neutral and both WiMax and LTE can be on the same spectrum however these licences allow only data services.

No Tower / Optical Fiber Network deals have been negotiated nor they are in the pipeline. Besides, the handsets/terminal equipment is a significant issue. LTE handsets irrespective of urban or rural rollout will require subsidies while dongles are already available across CDMA 1X and now also 3G mobile networks and tariffs are already competitive.
